Telecom Lead America: DragonWave, a supplier of
high-capacity microwave, has expanded its portfolio to deliver broader
frequency coverage and extended application support.
DragonWave added the Horizon S-Series, a sub-6 GHz radio
suited for non-line-of-sight applications such as those required for public
safety and state and local governments, as well as certain microcellular
backhaul applications to its portfolio.
The company has also introduced the Horizon E-Series,
operating in the licensed 70/80 GHz frequencies.
The company said the cost advantages of the S-Series
coupled with a quick and straight forward installation procedure makes it an
ideal choice for deployments up to 200 Mbps.
On the other hand, the Horizon E-7000T provides up to 1
Gbps of asynchronous capacity per link and is designed for shorter-range
deployments in urban environments, such as in a mobile backhaul scenario,
microcellular backhaul applications or to provide enterprise connectivity.
“The addition of the Horizon S-Series and E-Series
radios, coupled with the Avenue radio, positions DragonWave to provide a
complete outdoor microcell backhaul solution for any mobile operator. These
three frequency bands, 5.8GHz, 60GHz, 70/80GHz, are the primary bands for
microcell base station wireless backhaul,” said Earl Lum, President of EJL
Wireless Research.
DragonWave’s Horizon line of packet microwave systems
delivers the highest levels of spectral efficiency and reliability for
carrier-grade delivery of advanced applications and services. DragonWave’s
Avenue portfolio offers fully integrated microcell platforms and microcell
backhaul solutions.
“The addition of these new products to our portfolio
effectively enables DragonWave to offer a wireless microwave solution for every
conceivable application today,” said Greg Friesen, vice president of
Product Development.
